ABSTRACT
My informant Cetin told me this in an interview for the research about four “drawn stories” that are published in the weekly comic magazines Uykusuz and Penguen in Turkey.2 These drawn stories are called “Sandik Ici” (Inside the
Chest), “Genco’nun Yalan Dunyasi” (Genco’s Fake World), “Ortam: Dunyanin En Telmasa Adami” (Ortam: The Most Nugatory Man of the World), and Otisabi (“Big Brother Otis”). These are different stories of four male protagonists: Ersin, Genco, Ortam, and Otis. In this chapter, I will illustrate who these fictional men are, where they live, with whom they interact, and what they represent in terms of subjectivity through popular culture.
